This Tilley storm lamp was used in the second world war as a ship navigation light. It had a thick layer of dirt and corrosion on the surface and rust in most other places.
Firstly I noticed the pump was useless. The gasket needed replacing. I ordered a Tilley lamp maintenance kit and begun to dismantle the lamp. Once it was In pieces it set about degreasing all of the parts and blasted the top piece, cage and middle tube. I then filled the holes left from blasting and etch, primed, and painted the top piece and cage their original colours. Or as close as I could get at least. I also buffed the surface level off all of the brass pieces. This did scratch it somewhat but this was later removed with sandpaper and metal polish. I then applied some heat resistant paint on the bottom side of the top piece.
I was then a case of reassembling the lamp with the new gaskets and mantel and testing it out. The restoration was then complete. I love the glow this lamp gives off, the camera doesn't do it justice.
